There will be two contested election cases
in the Senate, those of Faulkner. of West
Virginia, and Turpie of Indiana. Both
cases are of Importance in view of the close
ness of the vote in the Senate. In the House
the case of Thoebe VS.. Carlisle is the most
important contest.

Either the jury that tried Most did not be-

what constitutes seditious language rather
than the opinion expressed by the judge who
presided at the trial. 1t is very likely true
that Most's bad record had good deal to do
with his conviction.

he cannot escape, though he escape state

The Chicago "boodlers" have been granted

1t seems the Court Of Appeals was not di-
vided ON the question of granting Sharp a
new trial, but unanimous in favor Of it. In
the next trial the government will not have
the advantage of Sharp's testimony before
the Senate committee, but Mr.. Delaney Nicoll
expresses the opinion that it will have
enough without it. Much will depend on
the sincerity of Col. Fellows, the new dis
trict attorney. If he at heart desires the
acquittal of Sharp no doubt he can make the
government case weak enough TO bring il
about.

MOUNTAINS ON TaE MOON.
How 20 Sec Them with N Pair Of
Opera GLASSES.

10. ?. Ssryis, In Popular Science for
August
OF course, the first thing the OBJ
server will wish to see will be the
mountains Of the moon, for every
body has heard OF them, and the
most sluggish imagination is stirred
by the thought that one can look of
into the sky and behold "the eternal
hills" of another planet rs solid aud
substantial rs our own. But the
chances are that, il left 70 their own
guidance. ninety-nine persons out OF
hundred would choose exactly the
wrong time to see these mountains.
At any rate, that is my experience
with people who have come 10 look
at the moon through my telescope.
Unless warned beforehand, they in
variably wait until full moon, when
the food ofsunshine poured perpen-
dicularly upon the face OF
our satellite conceals its rugged
features a. etfectually as II q
veil had been drawn over them.
Begin your observations with the ap-
pearance OF the narrowest crescent
Of the new moon, and follow it as il
gradually fills, and then you will see
how beautifully the advancing line OF
lunar sunrise reveals the mountains,
over whose slopes and peaks il is
climbing, by its ragged and sinuous
outline. The observer must keep in
mind the fact that he is looking
straight down upon the tops OF the
lunar mountains. 1t is like q view
from a balloon, only at a vastly
greater hight than any balloon has
ever attained. Even with a power
full telescope the observer sees tho
moon at an apparent distance Of sew.
eral hundred miles, while with q
field glass, maguiiying six diameters,
the moon appears as IL forty thous.
and miles of. The apparent
distance with Galiloo's tele.
scope was eight thousand miles.
Recollect how when seen from n
great hight the rugosities Of the
earth surface aatten out and dis.
appear, and then try TO imagine how
the highest mountains on earth would
look II you we're suspended 10000
miles above them, and you will, per-
hsps, rather wonder at the fact that
the moons mountains can be seen at

manager sent her Q bill, but she PAID
no attention to il. At last the account
amounted to more than 5000. One day
she took her maid and pet dog and
went for a walk. When she returned
she found her room locked and the
key gone. She few to the Office in q
great temper and demanded Of the
clerk the reason OF this insult. The
clerk quietly told her that her bill
had been presented several times
and they did not feel like allowing 1t
to get any larger. If she paid her
bill her room would be unlocked.
At this Ouida went into perfect
passion, saying she did not know why
she ever stayed at the hotel. They
we're the most inartistic people she
had ever heard Of. She had no bust
nessin stopping at hotel the pro-
prietor of which would allow such a
looking church as the one opposite
to stand facing him for SO many
years. She continued this style OF
criticism for some time, and then
asked the clerk to call a cab, that
she might leave the house forever.
She then discovered she had no
change to pay the cabman, so she
passed ESQ note over to the clerk
saying she wished he would change
it, so that she could pay her cabman
when she should dismiss him. The
clerk calmly took the note and
placed il in drawer in his desk aud
locked it up. This left 0uida with
out penny. Then she began again
discussing the inariistic spirit OF the
proprietor, also saying that it was q
great advantage to the hetel to have
a lady of her position in it, but she
failed to impress the clerk, and she
finally took her maid and dog and
walked of, and left London within a
| day or two.
